I need to stop turning things into a production. Especially since I’m really bad at knowing how much time something is going to take me.
“Wow, writing this ask sure is taking me a while. Why don’t I write a SEVEN PAGE COMIC INSTEAD?”
Yeah, well, it’s looking like I won’t have that much free time for a while so shortened it to three. It’s a shame though, I was really enjoying what I was doing with staging an body language. I’ll have to clean up the other pages and make a separate post for them sometime.
So, Titleknown, I’ll still answer your ask for real if unless you say I don’t have to. I may need to rethink what I’m going to say and shorten it though. I was surprised by how uncomfortable I was talking about it. Probably due to the fact that I’m not used to getting personal on tumblr. I usually prefer to keep my thoughts and opinions to myself because getting them together to write about them is really difficult for me. I always over scrutinize myself until I can’t stand to listen to myself anymore.
Also, I’ll still draw a hellhound for you even if you don’t need me to answer the question.
Side note for those just tuning in: Yes, I sometimes draw myself as a little cat ghost. It’s a cat ghost because I usually draw myself as a cat girl. (At the time of this post I use it in my icon and header) Come to think of it, it’s technically not so much a cat ghost as it is a ghost with cat ears. hm.
I wanted to experiment with some ideas about ghosts and what they represent but I didn’t have a story to go with those ideas so I made a ghost persona for myself and I sometimes answer questions with it. I’ve decided to call it a “sheetsona” because it’s meant to be a type of sheet ghost which I’ve decided is different than a “real ghost”.
I’ve been thinking about writing a post to elaborate on what I mean by that and what a sheetsona is but I’m not sure if it makes sense to anyone but me. If anyone reading this is curious feel free to ask me about it. It might also help if people would tell me what they think of when they think of ghosts. I realize that my definition of what a ghost is as a fortean nerd who’s read about ghosts and watched shows like Haunted Histories since she was a kid might vary wildly from the definition of someone with only a passing knowledge of ghosts or only knows ghosts through movies and television. I’d feel better writing about ghosts if I had a census of what people think of them. That way I’d know how much I’d need to explain or if my thinking behind my sheetsona is really as out there as it is to me. Otherwise I’m not going to be able to write anything without feeling like an idiot. (Also I’d really like to have more people to talk about ghosts with. ^u^)

Interview with William S. Burroughs and David Cronenberg
by Lynn Snowden
[Excerpt]
Deep in Kansas, darkly dressed, William S. Burroughs, a man who shot his wife in the head and waged war against a lifetime of guilt, who has sucked up every drug imaginable and survived, and who has made a fine career out of depravity, can't on this particular afternoon take another moment of a simple midwestern housefly buzzing around his head.
"I can't stand flies,'' grumbles the seventy-seven-year-old author in that distinctively sepulchral voice, which retains a vestige of his St. Louis roots despite his many years on another planet. The fly swoops down onto Burroughs's plate of cookies. "Terrible,'' Burroughs exclaims, exasperated, attempting to backhand the fly into oblivion.
"William, that's my pet fly!'' cries David Cronenberg, a man who may love insects but not necessarily people, the director who is perhaps best known for turning Jeff Goldblum from scientist into bug in the 1986 remake of The Fly.
"Now, Julius, I told you not to bother people,'' Cronenberg commands the fly. "Not everyone likes flies.''
Full interview is here.
